This pod deserves way more attention than it gets. Cool one with @tibo_maker but the other ones from @NapkinMathFM are killer. Keep it up @charlierward & @sab8a.

@eddywdavies I think video is also a better way to consume content. It's visual, it's interesting, it's short. Huge opportunity here for a startup to build the Ahrefs of social search.

people are searching more on ig and tiktok because the content isn't seo optimised ai slop, or at least it's a lot harder to ai produce an authentic compelling video in turn that means llms are prioritising that more genuine authentic content as their sources great pod

Alright, so this blew up! A lot of people got it wrong. Correct answer: Right one. But it also led to: – 55% of new users opting for weekly plans – 30% drop in estimated 12 Month LTV Conclusion: it looks better on the surface, but brings in lower quality users.

Hoodmaps is by far my favourite project by @levelsio I use it before I book any Airbnb I used to navigate a city based on: Vintage shops (trendy area) Gucci (rich area) Dive bars (party area) But this product gives me a clear view of any city.

@ahmad_a_wahabb Onnnnn it

@HauntedAI @veedstudio @freepik Freepik use us via Fal. It might be your configuration setting? Is 720p selected?

@veedstudio @freepik I noticed that the quality is much better in Freepik than when using Fabric on platforms like Fal. Is there a model difference between what Freepik uses and what you provide via API?

@sab8a When will this feature roll out ?

@tibo_maker Huge congrats!

yes, I crossed $1,000,000 / month was trying to keep it quiet but it got leaked on a pod so... let's go quick backstory: I sold Tweet Hunter and Taplio for $8m in 2024 then got back to work and honestly, I was terrified when you set a standard for yourself, you have to live by it and that pressure is real every single thing I shipped felt scary - I felt like a fraud, "the lucky guy who got acquired once" every launch, I kept thinking: what if it flops? what if I go from "the guy who exited" to just... a nobody? so I forced myself to ship a ton a lot failed I was embarrassed by the bugs in my MVPs but I kept going Revid, Outrank, SuperX, PostSyncer, Feather -> five products thriving today they do more than anything I've ever built before grateful to my co-makers, to the team, and to everyone following along, giving feedback, using the products every day thank you, genuinely 🙏
